Adam Sessler lays the Smack Down on Fanboys

That made me chuckle a little. I think its pretty good to see someone from the industry just take off the gloves and be a little more bare knuckle when it comes to fanboys and the crap they vomit. Some of the user comments he picked out in particular show exactly what the biggest problem with video game communities is, inbreeding and the stupidity it causes to a person.

Great stuff.

Adam Sessler is like the only person in the industry that isnt full of shit.

So true.

Adam Sessler is a fucking tool, sir.  I made it about one minute into that video just to give him a chance to be something worthwhile...but no.  He couldn't even do that.  In the minute of video I watched, he could BARELY stop stuttering.

i can't help but mentioning this, don't get all worked up and hop on the ses bandwagon, he was one of the douchebags that made a big deal about racism in RE5

I have to agree with Adam here. I dont have a PS3 or plan on buying one any time soon, but to say that there cant be any good games one it is crazy.

Killzone 2 has proven that sony has the worst fanboys of all the consoles.
I always thought it was xbox, but not anymore.

I think alot of people are taking this too seriously.  Im not implying that Adam isnt serious about what hes saying, im simply implying that he is just blowing off some steam.  Its nice every once in a while to vent about the fucking morons in this world and how it gives you a headache to try and understand their world view.......... thats all this is and I support the guy.   Most people can argue he should just deal with it and keep a cool head, but, I say fuck it and use your little personal video podcast for something like this.  It was entertaining to me and Im sure he feels better now.

"I'm still trying to figure out why people are being bashed for their opinions: Both the reviewers at G4 and the "fanboys" on the forums.

In case anyone missed it, games are meant to be fun. And fun is a totally subjective idea."

"Killzone 2 has proven that sony has the worst fanboys of all the consoles.

Wow, just wow...lost a bit of respect really......no better responses than the idiots.  He's losing it a bit or it was done just for pub and attention maybe.   Hmmmm..   Justifiable really, but just not from a pro like Sessler.  Bet G4 cringed a little to say the least.

I like Adam Sessler. He's the best part about G4. Kevin Pereirra is pretty cool too.

""Joe. Joe, you delusional fuck." Awesome."

Good Shit!

Adam Sessler plays games,writes, reviews and is viewed by many people on a tv show about video games. He just gave love to those who hate, it seems counter productive, because those people don't care.

GJ Sessler, sure kicked their asses.

You can call them fanboys but with the crazy backwards shit they're saying I'm assuming it's all trolling.  Trolls want attention.

He just gave them all boners.  Their crazy bullshit post on a message board was responded to personally by a television personality.

You've got to love Adam's delivery

"Wow....Adam Sessler is such a retard...I wonder if he accually believes the shit that comes out his own mouth.  I mean first oiff, it must be "Obvious Day" on planet retard, and secondly, his balding spot on the top of his head isn't getting any better.  I don't see how he can sit there and talk about how the video gaming industry is doing poorly when he himself is doing nicely.  I mean he lives in L.A., California and the cost of living there is more then it is in indiana.  Also, he believes of himself to be a gaming guru, but he is just an ass who isn't really funny.  My nutsack can make better jokes then he can."

I've noticed that every one of your posts are retarded. By following logic I have concluded that you yourself must be retarded as well."

First off I use the term retards as meaning "Lack of common sense", but since this is a forum and I'm aloud to speak my mind, it makes me curious as to why you really give a shit.  But thanks for your "retarded" opinion.  JACKASS!!!

 Anways...on to my thoughts,  I've been watching Sesslers soapbox for about an hour now, and I've realized that during some of his interviews he does make good points on some key issues in the gaming industry.  Although I will say that making fable 2 game of the year on G4s X-Play was not such a good idea.  I mean I personally didn't think it should have gotten "game of the year" just for the simple fact that the multiplayer wasn't that good, and also that the reasoning behind it just wasn't strong enough for me to see it as "game of the year"."

Both of you need to grow up. Retarded is a derogatory term and just because this a forum doesn't mean you can dumb it down."

Ok Mr. Pansy McPussy pants."

"1. With out those blind stupid fanboys g4 would have died along long time ago.
2.G4 sux why is it still around? even when it first start back in like 1998 or so it sucked then soley cause there was lil content, it got content it still sucked because of certain personalities, then it lost all its content adopted british tv shows and still sucked.
3.g4 would be dead without the blind raving fanboys of which someone in this thread said were all 11 year olds sorry to say but its not 11 year olds if it were then a good 70% of the site is 11 year olds Fanboys come in all shapes, sizes and ages and sexes. fanboyism is a natural extension of human side choosing and will never die.

P.S: hes right about scoring systems though but then again i believe all scroing systems should be done away with and the reviews text should represent it self, which is one reason i use gamerankings because people are actually able to score reviews i can read the best scored reviews and not have to wade through crap reviews.
P.P.S:he hasn't really owned, or smacked down any fanboys with his statements he just fueled the fire."

that was a great soapbox. i wish i still had my ps3 so i could play killzone. looks like a sick game

Without Casuals the industry dies.
Without fanboys gaming publications/shows die.

Since casuals do not by defintion care about video game reporting.

I don't see how gaming publications have anything to do with fanboys, really.

the day fanboyism ends is the day Sony and Microsoft decide to merge and make one video game console. So keep your fingers cross.........

"Killzone 2 has proven that sony has the worst fanboys of all the consoles.
I always thought it was xbox, but not anymore."

It's not that his posts are always retarded, it's just that the only things he ever has to say on any thread are negative. "

Sessler for the win
